How to obtain membrane performance data, how to collect, trend and understand the data and how to maintain performance...

In a membrane plant you can be overwhelmed with data. Some of it useful, some of it not so useful. The key is to weed out the less then useful data so the operators can focus on the useful data. Once the data is filtered out operators can use it to make informed decisions on how to improve membrane and overall plant performance, and indicated poten...

This talk will dive in to membrane advancements focusing on hollow fiber and spiral wound membranes and the benefits of improvements. Membrane characteristics can directly correlate to operating cost, performance, new applications, and overall improved plant operations. Plant operating data will demonstrate how improved membrane characteristics i...

The goal of this presentation is to discuss several key topics on membrane bioreactor technology, including fundamentals of MBR technology, advantages and disadvantages of MBR use, lessons learned in use of different types of MBR technology, and opportunities for use of MBR in potable and non-potable reuse applications. The topics will cover engine...

Depletion of water supplies for potable and irrigation use has been a major problem in some areas of the US, particularly in Texas, Arizona and California. A changing climate, water scarcity, and increased population alter current demands on water resources. Since imported water supplies are becoming more unpredictable, municipalities are forced ...

Many reverse osmosis (RO) systems experience scale and fouling issues that may result in system downtime and labor-intensive Clean-In-Place (CIP). System operators are required to perform CIP to restore performance often with limited training and tools. This presentation dicusses RO foulants and symptoms, proper cleaning procedures, and cleaning c...

Discussion outlining how OWRB's funding opportunities can address the dollars' side of eligible water, wastewater and stormwater project needs. Share the diversity of project eligibilities under OWRB loan and grant programs and provide examples of the evolution of project types financed through Oklahoma's Financial Assistance Division to include: ...

A brief overview of the City of Broken Arrow's water treatment plant. A discussion about the challenges faced after startup and the lessons learned. A summary of where we are now....

Brazos Regional Public Utility Agency Surface Water and Treatment System completed bench test and resultant full-scale implementation for pretreatment coagulant changes from iron-based to aluminum-based coagulants. This includes optimization of clarification followed by membrane filtration and the change of operation from coagulant, flocculation, s...

My presentation will be over the upgrade for the Hargesheimer Water Treatment plant. It will cover what was built and the changes it created for the plant and discuss how the water quality changed coming into the plant....

This presentation will consider how selection and placement of pumps and energy recovery devices can optimize membrane systems for capital or life cycle cost. The effect of interstage boosting using pumps and/or turbochargers on feed velocity, flux distribution, and energy demand will be discussed with an emphasis on device selection to achieve pr...

Industries such as the food industry and industrial laundries produce volumes of wastewater which require treatment for safe and responsible management. Membranes can be used to good advantage in industrial wastewater treatment, with the potential for producing high quality product water for discharge or for reuse. This paper will present several r...

Gas permeable membranes can cost-effectively remove oxygen from water, replacing conventional deaeration strippers in industrial applications. Historically used for high purity water treatment in various industrial facilities, there is strong technical and commerical justification for membrane dearation in broader applications such as offshore wate...
